“You very much feel like a number on a list, just like a piece to move around the board, and not like a human with your own thoughts, feelings, plans.”
“There’s like dissonance between what you want to do and what you feel is right versus what the environment requires...”

Happy to share that our commentary (with amazing @drharikeerthan), was published y’day in the @MedEd_Journal by @asmeofficial. Since then, we’ve been receiving deeply personal messages—from neuroatypical superspecialists who had to drop out mid-course 1/

Epistemic injustice... being autistic means one’s credibility and capacity to relate an accurate account of one’s own experience is often questioned. How can I be a doctor if I am autistic? Conversely, how can I be autistic if I am a doctor?

The release of this book snuck up on me! Finally The Neurodiversity Child Autism Assessment Handbook is to be released soon (April 21st), which will take you step by step through a truly neurodiversity affirmative child Autistic identification.
Huge congrats to @DoctorsAutistic member Dr Samantha @auti_medic23, blazing a trail for #autistic medical students & doctors everywhere🩺🎉
Watch out for her project at @AutismEurope Congress, deepening our knowledge of the experiences & support needs of autistic medical students
I was so delighted to be part of the @rcpsychNDPSIG conference and hear from so many interesting speakers before and during it. Here is a snapshot of some of them and not least @SEDSConnective patron Dr Eccles Chair of NDPSIG who I felt did the most amazing plenary speech.
@BendyBrain B Erin, @Autistic_Doc, B Sutton, Dr Evison, Dr Kinnear @PerinatalBirder and more.
#unifying #connecting #psychiatry #autonomy
@MullerSedgwick@BendyBrain Beyond the neurotype: Dr. Eccles explores complex but ever present brain-body links & overlap across neurodevelopmental conditions,especially hyper-mobility in neurodevelopmental & psychiatric conditions & beyond @SamuelJTromans @SanaHashmi5@rcpsychDPSIG@rcpsychNY#NDPSIG2024
@BendyBrain Wowed by @PerinatalBirder speaking the TRUTH about perinatal challenges for women with autism and ADHD. Why are clinicians so reluctant to allow patient autonomy? #NDPSIG2024
When your ACF supervisor is researcher goals 🔥🔥🔥
As always, a hugely ‘lightbulb’ and engaging talk from Dr Jess Eccles on the interaction between body and brain! @BendyBrain#NDPSIG2024
